How to Mine Garlicoin on Windows with AMD GPU

Pool Mining

Ensure that your Garlicoin wallet is set up before you start. Refer to the Windows Wallet Guide for assistance if needed. Pool mining does not require Garlicoin Core to be running.

Step 1: Downloading the Files

Download the special Pool Miner for AMD GPUs and place it in its own folder, such as "Pool AMD Miner".

Step 2: Setting Up the Miner

Edit the Run-Allium.bat file. To do this, right-click on the file and select Edit, then paste the following command:

.\sgminer.exe -k allium -o POOL -u ADDRESS -p x

Replace POOL with the pool's address.
Replace ADDRESS with your wallet address.

If using an AMD Navi GPU (or newer), try replacing -k allium with -k allium_navi. Some pools may also require the --difficulty-multiplier 0.5 option. You may need to test this setting to determine its effect on performance.

Step 3: Start Mining

Double-click Run-Allium.bat to begin mining. Initial calibration may take between 1 and 10 minutes.

Troubleshooting

Access is Denied

If you receive an "Access is Denied" error, check your antivirus software settings, as it may be blocking the miner. Add the mining folder to your antivirus exceptions list if needed.
